Prairie - The Road to be Open in
Absut tn Days.
10 1HH EpE.oa or TIE Tmrs:-
Not seeing much in your paper
about Camas Prairie, lately, l wish to
say that we still live and expect to
continue 70. Our county is steadily
growing in wealth and population,
aud the snow has almost disappeared.
The hills are getting covered with
cattle and horses, We are getting
ready to put in more grain than ever,
and We expect good crops without
much, If any. irrigation owing to the
heavy snowfall.
Although considerable portion OF
the Prairie has been taken up, there
is still plenty Of choice government
land for mon. who want homes; but
they must be rustlers and willing to-
bear little hard times in getting
their places in order. There is no
room here for those coming from the
East expecting to find house and
garden on piece Of land that they
may want to take up.
Think that the road between this
place and Haley will be good in
about 10 days, if it keeps warm.
